Thanks Jon , I had googled that part number but got no results, however your link works fine.

So am I correct in thinking they were also used on an early Land rover?

Further research reveals...

I agree with Alans advice to use Allen key Bolts and also some blue threadlock. The MK1 & MK2 Ford Granada's had this set up. I do recall the bolts coming loose on our family car and the Ford...

Any idea why the driver isn't wearing a seatbelt out on the road?
Both battery positive & negative leads appear too close together, surely a fire waiting to happen!

I am guessing that the brake set up will be adequate because your car weighs less than the Cortina. If you haven't had any brake fade, have you looked at the possibility of trying a larger servo and...

Hi
1) Which model Marlin do you have is it a Roadster, YKC,Hunter or Cabriolet, as I cannot see any mention of this?

2) What's the approx BHP of your engine , is it a standard spec Pinto?

Have you tried removing the alternator , putting in a vice that grips the pulley and checking that the nut hasn't worked loose?

Failing that if the bearing has gone, then you could pull it apart...

I think the English translation is:
The lead substitute is not lead. I gladly use Win in my pinto 2L of 1986.

On the Pinto Engine , the cams timing mark is iirc at 6 oclock and is within a gap on the pulley that forms a point. That then aligns with a dot in the head. That is assuming you have a standard cam....

I flushed my Roadster out about 8 times with a large bucket under the detached rad & hoses. I then used dishwasher cleaner from Aldi iirc £1.75 for a pack of 2 bottles and just used 1 of them ....

Re: Low compression readings on 2 cylinders .

Before removing the head check that the valve clearances are not set too tight as that would hold the valve open reducing the compression.

I have seen similar parts as used in the distributor Accuspark kits on Aliexpress. I think they are all made in China and Accuspark are just adding their name to them.

It would probably be better...

Once you've checked the base of the Carb for it's "typo", you can either order the gasket from https://www.webcon.co.uk/products/c22-weber-carburettors/

Hi Bill
I recommend that you try using a digital multi meter set to the audible buzzer on the ohms range . You should then be able to identify all the pins .

Hi Peter
Some of the early Ford fuel pumps were prone to failing which is from the same era of the Sierra Pump.

The main cause was people driving continually low on fuel and particularly this...

From your photos it's not clear how you managed to run the car to establish this problem, as there is no cylinder head fitted to the car?

Hopefully catch you at Kop Hill

I's been a while since I worked on that engine, but I think it has a Lucas 45D4 Dizzy.
